Capital XTRA Breakfast’s Robert Bruce & Shayna Marie have returned with our revamped podcast this Black History Month, as announced on the breakfast show, The Black History Month Champions.

Black Champions is focusing on highlighting unsung black heroes throughout history, from key figures in history, anywhere from astronauts & artists to activists, and much more!

This year, we have some of our very own modern-day champions in-studio for some interviews, so there will be some celebrity interviews you won't want to miss out on!

So far, we've heard from Eni Awoyemi from Fey Flowers, Dean Forbes, and even Krept from Krept & Konan.

With nuggets of inspirational information from some of the greatest in their fields, you don't wanna miss out.
